Scald Burn Prevention Campaign for Hispanic Families
The Arizona Burn Center, in Phoenix, Arizona, is the second highest patient volume burn center in the nation, treating over 900 adults and children each year. Approximately 300 children each year are hospitalized at the Burn Center, most of whom are hospitalized for scald burns. During 2005 and 2006, Burn Center staff noticed that an alarming number of young Arizona children were sustaining scald burn injuries that required specialized burn care at the Arizona Burn Center. Eighty-six percent (86%) of patients were enrolled in Medicaid. Almost all children were scalded in their own home. Furthermore, over two-thirds of the children hospitalized for scalds were Hispanic. Patients of Hispanic ethnicity traditionally have composed one third of patients admitted to the Burn Center. The dramatic over-representation of Hispanic children among pediatric scald burn patients greatly concerned Burn Center staff.
